You know...
I had a bunch of things I was going to write about...but now I've forgotten them all.
Oh yes, a short quip. Forgive this post for being somewhat trivial, but you'll get over it. It has come to my attention that a certain subplot is being cut from the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' film. The subplot concerns Ron playing quidditch, and a song other students sing to taunt him. The fanboys are up in arms, claiming David Yates is going to butcher the film, that WB should burn in hell, and the film will suck.
Firstly, it isn't David Yates choice. He did not write the screenplay, and has nothing to do with that order of things. Secondly, WB has nothing to do with it either, and from what I hear, have unusually little creative control over the Harry Potter films. As they should! They are what's called a DISTRIBUTOR. They are not a production company. And no one knows if the film will suck yet, it hasn't even finished principal photography.
Additionally, the cutting of this particular subplot is a GOOD THING. Think about it:
*SPOILER*
Sirius Black dies at the end of the film. He was barely in Goblet of Fire, and in Prisoner of Azkaban for merely minutes. The audience is supposed to care about his death - Harry grives over it very much. Why on earth should I care about Ron sucking at quidditch when I can see 15 minutes of relationship and character development between Sirius and Harry? The tone of this film should be dark and gloomy. Besides, quidditch is boring. It serves nothing to the plot, and I don't care who says 'it adds character development to Ron'. Whatever. It's not like anyone sees Ron as deep and meaningful after a few games.
Anyway.
I'm at uni. I should probably get going on my cinema essay - finished my intro. w00t.
Peace out.
